Length of paper
Our goal is to encourage original research articles of 10–20 published pages – including all text, references, figures and tables, Manuscripts should have between 3'000 and 6'000 words. Submitted manuscripts excessively over the limit will be returned to the authors before review.General formatting rules (page setup, text and figures)
Please send your manuscript as MS doc file (not docx). A LaTeX template will be available in the future.
Page setup: A4 format. Margins: 4 cm on all sides.
Text: Times New Roman 12.
Article title and section title should be in Bold.
Please keep formatting to a minimum.
Figures have to be "in line with text" (option available in the menu Format/Picture in the Layout tab) and shall not be over 13 cm width.
Language
We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language is corrected before submission. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article.
Manuscript textTitle page
The title page should include:

The name(s) of the author(s);

A concise and informative title;

The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s);

The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author.

Abstract
Please provide an abstract of 150–300 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.
Keywords
Please provide 4 to 10 keywords which can be used for indexing purposes.
Headings
Please use the decimal system of headings with no more than three levels.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes / Endnotes
Footnotes are not allowed. Endnotes are discouraged, but they may be used if neccessary.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
Citation
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:

There is a general warming signal over Romania (Dumitrescu et al. 2014).

Sparks and Menzel (2002) stated that the growing season length is a valuable agrometeorological indicator.

Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text, if necessary.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. For multiple references having the same first author, the references should also be ordered chronologically. The reference style contains no points after name initials and abbreviations. Some examples are listed below. Journal article
